C. and started to play the violin; it was a cold January morning. He played six pieces for about 45 minutes. During that time, since it was rush hour, 1,100 people went through the station, most of them on their way to work. Three minutes went by, and a middle-aged man noticed there was a musician playing. A few minutes later, someone leaned against the wall to listen to him. They stopped for a few seconds, and then hurried up to meet their schedule. The one who paid the most attention was a 3-year-old boy. His mother followed him along, hurried, but the kid stopped to look at the violinist. Finally, the mother pushed hard, and the child continued to walk, turning his head all the time. This was repeated by several other children. All the parents, without exception, forced them to move on. In the 45 minutes the musician played, only 6 people stopped and stayed for a while. About 20 gave him money, but continued to walk their normal pace. He collected $32. When he finished playing and silence took over, no one noticed it. No one applauded (鼓掌), nor was there any recognition. No one knew this, but the violinist was Joshua Bell, one of the most gifted musicians in the world. He had just played one of the most beautiful pieces ever written, on a violin worth 3.5 million dollars. Two days before his playing in the subway, Joshua Bell sold out at a theater in Boston where the seats averaged $100. This is a real story. Joshua Bell’s playing in the subway station was organized by the Washington Post as part of a social experiment. One of the possible conclusions from this experience could be: If we do not have a moment to stop and listen to one of the best musicians in the world playing the best music ever written, how many other things are we missing? 4. Why did few people stop to listen to Joshua Bell playing? A. They were busy. B. It was too cold in the subway. C. They were not interested in music. D. The performance was not good enough. 5. What did the parents do when children stopped to look at the violinist? A. They would give him some money. B. They would stop to enjoy the music. C. They would applaud for the performance. D. They would ask them to continue walking. 6 Why did Joshua Bell play in the subway station? A. To make more money. B. To practise his skills in playing music. C. To make an advertisement for his concert. D. To find out people’s reaction under such a condition. 7. What is the purpose of the text? A. To show us how to play music. B. To set us to think about our life. C. To report a subway performance. D. To tell us the importance of music. C Are you attracted to faraway places? Do you prefer a vacation away from other tourists? Are you careful to take only memories and to leave only footprints? If you answered yes to more than one of these questions, you just might be an ecotourist (生态旅游者). Ecotourists are people who want to experience the natural world without damage and leave it that way when they return home. This started in the 1990s and ecotourism is now growing three times faster than the tourism industry at large. The Ecuador’s remote Amazon Basin (盆地) is leading to that enlarging, and it gives a snapshot of what ecotourism looks like. At the Ecolodge, a small group of small houses sits Kapawi Ecolodge in the middle of the Achuar people’s reserve (保护区) and is only reached by air. From here, visitors can explore parts of the Amazon rainforest seen by few outsiders. As they do local Achuar guides explain how the forest is like their supermarket, where they find food, clothing, medicine and tools. As a result, tourists learn to enjoy the local culture as well as the natural environment. The owners of Kapawi pay monthly rent to the Achuar people, but they also train the community to run and manage the lodge. They have agreed on a plan to turn the operation over to the Achuar completely by 2011. The owners are working to make ecotourism benefit and empower the local people. You probably won’t start your own ecolodge (生态旅馆), but you can be an ecotourist if you follow these guidelines: Protect the environment; Support local businesses; Respect the local customs and traditions. The world is full of fascinating places to visit. As an ecotourist, you can enjoy them yourself and make sure that they remain beautiful for future generations as well. 8. According to the text, the ecotourists should be __________. A. those who like to go to their travelling places by hiking B. those who like an easily-remembered natural environment C. those who prefer a natural world which is what it used to be D. those who prefer unique natural environment of cultural relics 9. What does the underlined word “snapshot” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Idea. B. Chance. C. Purpose. D. Adventure. 10. At the Kapawi ecolodge, visitors can’t __________. A. reach there by air B. live in the Achuar reserve C. explore the Amazon rainforest D. see many travelers from outside 11. We can learn from the text that __________. A the Kapawi Ecolodge owners are the Achuar in favor of ecotourism B. the owners of Kapawi encourage tourists to enjoy the Achuar culture C the Achuar people have gained a lot by collecting money from ecotourists D. the Kapawi Ecolodge will continue to run and manage the hotel after 2011 D The sun was rising as we drove across the Minnesota state line to New York for my new Ph.D. program. The move was good for me professionally, but I worried about my husband and daughters. I also feared that I wouldn’t be able to give my kids the childhood they deserved. Anne our first daughter, came into the world when I was a junior majoring in biology in college. It was challenging to balance classes, work schedules, and being a mom. But I got it through, finding moments of delight along the way. On the nights when I was at home, I’d read my class notes out loud with my daughter. She’d respond by asking questions, such as “Mom, what are bacteria?” It helped us both learn. After I graduated, I knew that I would need a Ph.D. to land the kind of job I wanted. I arrived in New York feeling more than the usual new⁃grad⁃student anxiety. I also suffered from a more personal fear that I was selfish—my decision to invigorate my career was going to have long⁃term negative impacts on my kids. Over the past year, though, I’ve started to let go of some of the worry. I’ve realized that not only have we adapted to our new situation, but things are getting better. My husband has landed a job that he is happy with. Anne has dreamed of becoming a marine biologist. Recently, while driving past the cancer institute I work at, Anne said, “Thinking about people having cancer is so sad, but I feel better knowing that you are researching it to help.” Navigating academia as a young mother is hard, but it’s also rewarding. My kids are learning to look at the world through the lens of science, and watching their mom succeed inspires them. I look forward to seeing them follow in my footsteps, whatever path they choose. 12. How did the writer feel about the move for her Ph.D. program? A. It was fruitful but exhausting. B. It was the last thing she would do. C. It was hopeful but challenging. D. It was promising for the whole family. 13. Which can best replace the underlined word “invigorate” in Paragraph 3? A. Promote. B. Change. C. Create. D. Choose. 14. What could be inferred from Anne’s words in Paragraph 4? A. People are afraid of having cancer. B. Cancer is the No.1 enemy of health. C. Her mother takes her job seriously. D. Anne is proud of her mother. 15. What could be the best title of the text? A. Onwards and Upwards B. Double Gains of Mom’s Pursuit C. Like Mother, Like Daughter D. The Generation Gap Narrowed by Love 二、七选五 Florence Nightingale was named after her birthplace, Florence, Italy.

B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章通过讲述一次社会实验以及结论，告诉人们需要停下来思考生活，否则会错过很多东西。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“They stopped for a few seconds, and then hurried up to meet their schedule.(他们停了几秒钟，然后匆匆赶去赶行程。)”可知，人们都很忙。故选A。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“All the parents, without exception, forced them to move on.(所有的父母无一例外地强迫他们离开)”可知，父母会催促孩子们离开。故选D。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“In the 45 minutes the musician played, only 6 people stopped and stayed for a while. About 20 gave him money, but continued to walk their normal pace. He collected $32. When he finished playing and silence took over, no one noticed it. No one applauded(鼓掌), nor was there any recognition.(在音乐家演奏的45分钟里，只有6个人停下来停留了一会儿。大约有20人给了他钱，但继续以正常的速度行走。他收了32美元。当他演奏完毕，四周一片寂静，没有人注意到。没有人鼓掌，也没有人承认。)，以及第六段“Two days before his playing in the subway, Joshua Bell sold out at a theater in Boston where the seats averaged $100.(在地铁演出的前两天，约书亚·贝尔在波士顿一家剧院的票就卖光了，那里的平均票价是100美元。)”可知，约书亚·贝尔实际上很受人们欢迎，但地铁中的演奏却没有多少人注意，以及第七段中“Joshua Bell’s playing in the subway station was organized by the Washington Post as part of a social experiment.(约书亚·贝尔在地铁站的表演是由《华盛顿邮报》组织的，作为社会实验的一部分。)”可知，约书亚・贝尔会在地铁站表演是为了看看人们在这种情况下的反应。故选D。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“One of the possible conclusions from this experience could be: If we do not have a moment to stop and listen to one of the best musicians in the world playing the best music ever written, how many other things are we missing?(从这次经历中得出的一个可能的结论是:如果我们没有时间停下来听世界上最好的音乐家演奏有史以来最好的音乐，我们还错过了多少其他的东西?)”可推知，作者想要表达的是人们需要停下来思考生活，否则会错过很多东西。故选B。 C Are you attracted to faraway places? Do you prefer a vacation away from other tourists? Are you careful to take only memories and to leave only footprints? If you answered yes to more than one of these questions, you just might be an ecotourist (生态旅游者). Ecotourists are people who want to experience the natural world without damage and leave it that way when they return home. This started in the 1990s and ecotourism is now growing three times faster than the tourism industry at large. The Ecuador’s remote Amazon Basin (盆地) is leading to that enlarging, and it gives a snapshot of what ecotourism looks like. At the Ecolodge, a small group of small houses sits Kapawi Ecolodge in the middle of the Achuar people’s reserve (保护区) and is only reached by air. From here, visitors can explore parts of the Amazon rainforest seen by few outsiders. As they do local Achuar guides explain how the forest is like their supermarket, where they find food, clothing, medicine and tools. As a result, tourists learn to enjoy the local culture as well as the natural environment. The owners of Kapawi pay monthly rent to the Achuar people, but they also train the community to run and manage the lodge. They have agreed on a plan to turn the operation over to the Achuar completely by 2011. The owners are working to make ecotourism benefit and empower the local people. You probably won’t start your own ecolodge (生态旅馆), but you can be an ecotourist if you follow these guidelines: Protect the environment; Support local businesses; Respect the local customs and traditions. The world is full of fascinating places to visit. As an ecotourist, you can enjoy them yourself and make sure that they remain beautiful for future generations as well. 8. According to the text, the ecotourists should be __________. A. those who like to go to their travelling places by hiking B. those who like an easily-remembered natural environment C. those who prefer a natural world which is what it used to be D. those who prefer unique natural environment of cultural relics 9. What does the underlined word “snapshot” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Idea. B. Chance. C. Purpose. D. Adventure. 10. At the Kapawi ecolodge, visitors can’t __________. A. reach there by air B. live in the Achuar reserve C. explore the Amazon rainforest D. see many travelers from outside 11. We can learn from the text that __________. A. the Kapawi Ecolodge owners are the Achuar in favor of ecotourism B. the owners of Kapawi encourage tourists to enjoy the Achuar culture C. the Achuar people have gained a lot by collecting money from ecotourists D. the Kapawi Ecolodge will continue to run and manage the hotel after 2011 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. D 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要以厄瓜多尔的亚马逊盆地的生态旅馆为例，介绍了一种新理念的旅游方式——生态旅游。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Ecotourists are people who want to experience the natural world without damage and leave it that way when they return home. (生态旅游者是指那些想要在不受破坏情况下体验自然世界，并在回家时将其保持原样的人。)”可知，生态旅游者是那些喜欢自然世界原本样子的人。故选C项。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。画线词的上文“Ecotourists are people who want to experience the natural world without damage and leave it that way when they return home. This started in the 1990s and ecotourism is now growing three times faster than the tourism industry at large. (生态旅游者是指那些想要在不受破坏的情况下体验自然世界，并在回家时将其保持原样的人。这始于20世纪90年代，现在生态旅游的增长速度是整个旅游业的三倍。)”介绍了生态旅游者的概念，以及生态旅游的快速发展；画线词所在句中的it指代前面的厄瓜多尔偏远的亚马逊盆地这一具体事例，再结合画线词的下文“what ecotourism looks like (什么是生态旅游)”可推知，此处是由整体过渡到具体，用亚马逊盆地这一具体事例来对生态旅游进行简要说明，即它传递了生态旅游的思想，因此snapshot与idea意思最为相近。故选A项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“At the Ecolodge, a small group of small houses sits Kapawi Ecolodge in the middle of the Achuar people’s reserve (保护区) and is only reached by air. From here, visitors can explore parts of the Amazon rainforest seen by few outsiders. (在一生态旅馆，一小群小房子坐落在卡帕维生态旅馆，位于阿丘亚人保护区的中间，只能乘飞机到达。从这里，游客可以探索一些外人很少看到的亚马逊雨林。)”可知，卡帕维生态旅馆比较难以到达，游客从外面看不到很多旅行者。故选D项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“As they do local Achuar guides explain how the forest is like their supermarket, where they find food, clothing, medicine and tools. As a result, tourists learn to enjoy the local culture as well as the natural environment. (在他们探索的时候，当地的阿丘亚人向导会解释，森林就像他们的超市，在那里他们可以找到食物、衣服、药品和工具。因此，游客学会享受当地的文化和自然环境。)”和第四段中的“They have agreed on a plan to turn the operation over to the Achuar completely by 2011. The owners are working to make ecotourism benefit and empower the local people. (他们已经就一项计划达成一致，到2011年将这项业务完全移交给阿丘亚人。所有者正在努力使生态旅游受益，并赋予当地人权力。)”可知，卡帕维生态旅馆的所有者在经营的时候让阿丘亚人向导为游客介绍他们的生活文化，并会将这项业务移交给当地人，让他们拥有充分的权力。由此推知，这里的所有者鼓励游客享受当地的阿丘亚文化。故选B项。 D The sun was rising as we drove across the Minnesota state line to New York for my new Ph.D. program. The move was good for me professionally, but I worried about my husband and daughters. I also feared that I wouldn’t be able to give my kids the childhood they deserved. Anne, our first daughter, came into the world when I was a junior majoring in biology in college. It was challenging to balance classes, work schedules, and being a mom. But I got it through, finding moments of delight along the way. On the nights when I was at home, I’d read my class notes out loud with my daughter. She’d respond by asking questions, such as “Mom, what are bacteria?” It helped us both learn. After I graduated, I knew that I would need a Ph.D. to land the kind of job I wanted. I arrived in New York feeling more than the usual new⁃grad⁃student anxiety. I also suffered from a more personal fear that I was selfish—my decision to invigorate my career was going to have long⁃term negative impacts on my kids. Over the past year, though, I’ve started to let go of some of the worry. I’ve realized that not only have we adapted to our new situation, but things are getting better. My husband has landed a job that he is happy with. Anne has dreamed of becoming a marine biologist. Recently, while driving past the cancer institute I work at, Anne said, “Thinking about people having cancer is so sad, but I feel better knowing that you are researching it to help.” Navigating academia as a young mother is hard, but it’s also rewarding. My kids are learning to look at the world through the lens of science, and watching their mom succeed inspires them. I look forward to seeing them follow in my footsteps, whatever path they choose. 12. How did the writer feel about the move for her Ph.D. program? A. It was fruitful but exhausting. B. It was the last thing she would do. C. It was hopeful but challenging. D. It was promising for the whole family. 13. Which can best replace the underlined word “invigorate” in Paragraph 3? A. Promote. B. Change. C. Create. D. Choose. 14. What could be inferred from Anne’s words in Paragraph 4? A. People are afraid of having cancer. B. Cancer is the No.1 enemy of health. C. Her mother takes her job seriously. D. Anne is proud of her mother. 15. What could be the best title of the text? A. Onwards and Upwards B. Double Gains of Mom’s Pursuit C. Like Mother, Like Daughter D. The Generation Gap Narrowed by Love 【答案】12. C 13. A 14. D 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了作者对学业和家庭的双重追求和收获的故事。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“The move was good for me professionally, but I worried about my husband and daughters. I also feared that I wouldn’t be able to give my kids the childhood they deserved.(这次搬家对我的职业生涯有好处，但我担心我的丈夫和女儿们。我也担心我不能给我的孩子们应有的童年。)”可推断出，作者认为因她的博士项目而搬家既是充满希望的，也是具有挑战性的。故选C项。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中的“After I graduated, I knew that I would need a Ph.D. to land the kind of job I wanted.(毕业后，我知道我需要一个博士学位才能找到我想要的工作。)”可知，作者决定读博士学位来获得自己想要的工作。根据画线词所在句“I also suffered from a more personal fear that I was selfish—my decision to invigorate my career was going to have long⁃term negative impacts on my kids.(我还担心自己太自私了——我invigorate事业的决定将对我的孩子产生长期的负面影响。)”可知，作者担心自己对学业和事业的追求会给孩子造成不好的影响。由此可知，此处的decision指的是作者做的促进事业发展的决定，由此可知画线词意为“促进”。故选A项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Recently, while driving past the cancer institute I work at, Anne said, ‘Thinking about people having cancer is so sad, but I feel better knowing that you are researching it to help.’(最近，当开车经过我工作的癌症研究所时，安妮说：‘想到得了癌症的人让我很难过，但知道你在研究癌症来帮助他们，我感觉好多了。’)”可知，安妮觉得作者的工作很有价值，因此安妮为作者感到骄傲。故选D项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“The sun was rising as we drove across the Minnesota state line to New York for my new Ph.D. program. The move was good for me professionally, but I worried about my husband and daughters. I also feared that I wouldn’t be able to give my kids the childhood they deserved. (当我们驱车穿过明尼苏达州的州界去纽约攻读我的新博士学位时，太阳正在升起。搬家对我的职业生涯有好处，但我担心我的丈夫和女儿。我也担心我不能给我的孩子应有的童年。)”，倒数第二段的“Over the past year, though, I’ve started to let go of some of this worry. I’ve realized that we have not only adapted to our new situation, but things are getting better. My husband landed a job that he is happy with. Anne dreams of becoming a marine biologist.(然而，在过去的几年里，我已经开始放下这些担忧。我意识到我们不仅适应了新的环境，而且情况也在好转。我丈夫找到了一份满意的工作。安妮梦想成为一名海洋生物学家)”和最后一段中“Navigating academia as a young mother is hard, but it’s also rewarding. (作为一个年轻的母亲，在学术界航行是困难的，但它也有回报。)”可知，本文主要讲述了作者为了攻读博士学位搬家，但她担心丈夫和孩子不适应新环境。但最后的结果很好，丈夫找到了新工作，女儿也在她的影响下有了梦想和追求，自己也在工作领域发展得很好。因此文章的最佳标题是B项Double Gains of Mom’s Pursuit(妈妈追求的双重收获)。故选B项。 二、七选五 Florence Nightingale was named after her birthplace, Florence, Italy. When she was almost a year old, she returned with her family to England. Florence often helped her mother deliver (运送) food to the poor and sick. ___16___ Her family was shocked because nursing was not a respected profession (职业). But Florence was determined. She studied books on medicine. Later, she visited hospitals in France, Germany and Ireland and learned everything she could. ___17___ In 1854, Britain was at war with Russia, Florence went to the British hospital in Scutari and she was shocked. The hospital left men lying on the floor, and rats were running everywhere. ___18___ Many soldiers died before receiving help. The doctors wouldn’t listen to Florence because they didn’t like the idea of women in army hospitals – until one day 500 unexpected casualties (伤亡者) arrived. ___19___ Florence made changes, making sure the men were washed and their injuries were cared for. Every night she would check the patients with her lamp. When she returned home after the war, a fund had been set up in her honor. Many of the soldiers she had nursed had made contributions (捐款). Now she could set up the Nightingale Training School in London. After years of hard work, Florence Nightingale saw cleaner and more cheerful hospitals. ___20___ All of this was because of the “lady with the lamp”. A. Nursing became an honored profession. B. There was no running water and no heat. C. She knew she had much to learn about nursing. D. Florence saw the soldiers’ health had improved. E. As she grew older, she decided to become a nurse. F. They soon realized that Florence could give a hand. G. Upon returning home, she was an expert on hospital management. 【答案】16. E 17. G 18. B 19. F 20. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。讲述英国护士Florence Nightingale从立志成为一名护士到成名后筹款建校的生活经历。 【16题详解】 根据下文“Her family was shocked because nursing was not a respected profession (职业).(她的家人感到震惊，因为护理不是一个受人尊敬的职业)”推知，Florence Nightingale想要成为一名护士。E项“As she grew older, she decided to become a nurse.(随着年龄的增长，她决定成为一名护士)”符合题意，nurse呼应下文nursing。故选E。 【17题详解】 根据上文“Later, she visited hospitals in France, Germany and Ireland and learned everything she could. (后来，她访问了法国、德国和爱尔兰的医院，学到了她能学到的一切)”以及下文去战场的经历可知，Florence Nightingale已经学有所成。G项“Upon returning home, she was an expert on hospital management.(回国后，她成为了医院管理方面的专家)”符合题意。故选G。 【18题详解】 根据上文“The hospital left men lying on the floor, and rats were running everywhere.(医院里的人躺在地板上，老鼠到处乱跑)”和下文“Many soldiers died before receiving help.(很多战士在接受治疗前就去世了)”可知，医疗条件很差，导致战士还没接受治疗就死亡。由此推知，空处承接上文，对医疗条件差进行进一步说明。B项“There was no running water and no heat.(没有自来水，也没有暖气)”符合题意。故选B。 【19题详解】 根据上文“The doctors wouldn’t listen to Florence because they didn’t like the idea of women in army hospitals – until one day 500 unexpected casualties (伤亡者) arrived. (医生们不听Florence的话，因为他们不喜欢女性在军队医院的想法——直到有一天，500名意外伤亡人员到来)”可知，医生开始听不进去Florence Nightingale的观点，但受伤士兵一下子到了许多，这样就缺少人手，这使得医生意识到Florence Nightingale能帮他们医治受伤的士兵。F项“They soon realized that Florence could give a hand.(他们很快意识到Florence可以帮忙)”符合题意。故选F。 【20题详解】 根据上文“After years of hard work, Florence Nightingale saw cleaner and more cheerful hospitals. (经过多年的努力，Florence Nightingale看到了更干净、更愉快的医院)”和下文“All of this was because of the “lady with the lamp”.(这一切都是因为“提灯女神”)”结合文章开始提到Florence Nightingale小时候护士这一职业不怎么受人尊重，但后来通过她的努力，医疗条件大有改善，由此推知，她的努力使护士这份职业也越来越受到了人们的尊重。A项“Nursing became an honored profession.(护理成了一个光荣的职业)”符合题意。故选A。 三、完形填空（15空） Their father passed away, their mother is laid off, and the family has no heat in their house as the winter sets in.
